A few years ago I invited a handful of ladies to join me for a leadership-focused Bible study group. I was feeling God nudge me to create a place for women with leadership gifts to gather together, build community and grow in their faith. Frankly, it didn’t make sense. I was the Executive Director at […]
Schools out. We’re on the brink of summer. It’s a season of change. Seasons are an important part of life’s rhythm. They change our pace. They disrupt us. I used to think I didn’t like seasons. Spending most of my life in Wisconsin and Tennessee I found the extremes of the seasons tiring. Whether it […]
Adventure. Risk. Sacrifice. Life and leadership require all three… and yet so often we resist them. We trade adventure for what is known. We trade risk for what is safe. We trade sacrifice for what is comfortable. And we miss so much when we make these trades. Two weeks ago my husband and I attempted […]

The event was broadcast live and many […]

I have been a part of the Catalyst community since before it was remotely appropriate to call me a leader. As a young twenty-something I devoured every bit of content Catalyst created and I haven’t stopped since! Catalyst is the organization that I credit the most for my leadership development, so needless to say I’m […]
Day 5 of the New Year. Perhaps you’ve written some goals, resolutions, dreams, #oneword, etc and are off to a great start. Maybe you’re scrambling to get clarity on your priorities for the year and you’re freaking out because the New Year is here, everyone is talking about their amazing plans for 2016 and you’ve […]
You all know we well enough to know that reading is a huge value to me. My family gets annoyed by the stacks of books that are piled up in my office and on my nightstand. I just can’t get enough. I buy books faster than I can read them. Today I’m in Wisconsin visiting […]
